Hello to all at P.A. BOOTCAMP-
I just wanted to say thank you for the very intensive training classes early this week. I never realized that there was so much to being a set PA. I thanks you for being patient with me. I have been applying for pa positions vigorously since our class ended.
I can't wait for my first job... Also I will stay in touch with you guys because I like to keep in touch with those who have mentored me throughout my career. I think you have a great business with PA Bootcamp!
Sincerely,
Jeremy Flint
Dear PABootcamp:
I had a really good experience with the camp.
As a newcomer with some experience in the industry, this was very informative.
I traveled just to attend the camp and IT WAS WELL WORTH MY TRIP!
I sincerely appreciate everything. I can hardly wait until I land another job and can toss my newly learned terms to the AD again.
Dear PA Bootcamp
Wow, I learned a ton. I would be completely lost on the set if I hadn’t gone to
PA Bootcamp. I did not realize how much a P.A. has to know. I would have made
so many mistakes. It was so worth the money and some. I can now go to the set
with confidence, and not have to worry about what everyone else is talking about.
Thank you so much. If your not sure if you want to attend P.A. Bootcamp? GO! GO!
GO! It’s fun and you learn everything you need to know too.

Dear PA Bootcamp,
I just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful training you provided me over the weekend. Had I not taken your course, I would have been totally unprepared for my first day on set. I really don't see how anyone could go to set and be successful without knowing what you taught me. I especially liked learning the paperwork in a stress free environment as opposed to seeing it for the first time on set with hundreds of people waiting on me. In an industry where one mistake can hinder your chances of getting hired again, your workshop gave me a huge boost in confidence. I'm definitely telling my roommate to sign up.
Sincerely,
Robert Quick
It was a great weekend. I seriously learned so much. I feel confident
that when I go on set I will know how to start the day and prove myself.
The paper work that you sent us home with has been a great help these
last few days. I especially appreciate the "sides" size of the
handouts. This will prove very useful on set.
By the way, if an AD asks me to "go to the honeywagon and and bring the
revised one-liner," I would absolutely understand what is being asked
of me.
Thanks again,
David

PA Bootcamp is awesome. I got my first PA job with 20th Century Fox
within weeks of graduation, and thanks to PA Bootcamp I was prepared
to handle any task that came my way. PA Bootcamp gives invaluable
information that you simply don't learn in any film school (trust me -
I have a film degree). PA Bootcamp is the best thing you can do to
start your future in the film & television industry. Thank you PA
Bootcamp!!

Hi. I took PA bootcamp in January of this year. First of all, I'd like to thank you for all your help, I learned a lot from your course, and everyone from every interview I've ever been on has been really interested to hear about what PA boot camp is all about when they see it on my resume. I am now currently working as a production assistant for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and before that, I was a production assistant on the FOX pilot, "Nurses," so things are going wonderfully.

For anyone looking to brake into the industry, PA Bootcamp is a must. I loved it! And it's damn cheap for the amount of information you get. Also, I must give major props to my drill sergeants. They were so knowledgeable and very experienced in production assistant work. They thoroughly covered the basics of being an effective PA. I can actually read a call sheet now!!!
Thanks again, Erica
P.A. BOOTCAMP was incredibly informative and helpful...well worth the money! I
learned lots in 4 years of film school, however what I learned in 2 days of PA bootcamp
was much more relevant and practical. With the training I received at the bootcamp,
I feel I actually have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to succeed in future
PA jobs. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions,
and the guest speakers provided very interesting perspectives on various aspects
of life on the set. Yes, you could probably get a PA job without going to the camp,
but I wouldn't recommend doing it on your own. There are so many facets of
being a PA, and for myself (a 4-year film student), the bootcamp was both a wakeup
call to how much I DID NOT know, and a motivating force to go out and apply all
that I now DO know. If you want to be a PA and don't want to make a fool of
yourself (or get fired on initial jobs), do yourself a huge favor by signing up
for the camp.

P.A. Bootcamp is a must for anyone in LA thinking about breaking into the production.
Want a more efficient set? Then send your set PAs (especially the first timers) to PA Bootcamp before the show starts up!
"P.A. Bootcamp needs to be required training for anyone even flirting with the idea of becoming a P.A."
"I wish P.A. Bootcamp was around when I first came to L.A., it would've saved me a few years before becoming a P.A."

PA Bootcamp-
I just finished camp this past weekend and it was an amazing experience. I feel like I learned more applicable information in two days with PA Bootcamp than I did in 2+ years of film school. The instructor and guest speakers were truthful and informative, giving us information that we wouldn't be able to find in another place outside of being on a set. Before the camp I felt like I didn't know enough to get a job in the industry, but after the camp I feel prepared for just about anything. Being familiar with the paperwork and radio etiquette is going to be extremely helpful when I get a job. Thank you so much, PA Bootcamp!!
-Becca
I thought PA Bootcamp was an incredibly detailed and thorough overview of the duties and expectations of a production assistant. I had no idea about the sheer amount of multi-tasking (and paperwork!) that went into being a PA, and I can't imagine anyone doing well in their first PA job without first getting prepped by something like the Bootcamp. I just received my first job as an Office PA and I will now be able to go into my first day with much more confidence, thanks to my instruction from PA Bootcamp. -Jason
Dear PA Bootcamp,
The knowledge and experience provided by the drill sergeant was invaluable. I will walk onto set my first day feeling confidant, knowing that I am prepared for anything that is thrown my way. PA Bootcamp is an experience that could be replicated nowhere.
Cheers, Trevor
